BROKEN FUEL PIPE Dunbar, East Lothian. At 4.40 p.m.

on yth October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a fishing vessel had broken down about four miles east-south-east of Barnsness light-house.

It was half an hour after high water with a smooth sea and a gentle southwesterly wind. The life-boat Margaret was launched at 4.52. She found that the fishing vessel Yvonne Risager had not been able to start her engines because of a broken fuel pipe, but her crew of four were eventually able to repair this and to get her under way. The life-boat escorted her into Dunbar, returning to her station at 7 p.m..
